Chao Youye used the tip of her tongue to forcefully push open Mu Xinrong's unconsciously closed teeth, and passed the only remaining source of life in her lungs, which was hot and carried his breath, to him without reservation and in a turbulent manner.
The warm breath was like a torch suddenly lit in the darkness, carrying the crisp and clean scent of Chao Youye, forcefully rushing into Mu Xinrong's cold and suffocating mouth, instantly dispelling the haze of death.
Mu Xinrong's dilated pupils suddenly contracted, and a strong desire to survive was instantly ignited by this sudden, hot breath of life.
He instinctively and greedily absorbed the life-saving spring water, a slight whimper coming from his throat, like a dying cub finding its mother.
Chao Youye continued to breathe in and out, while his legs were like the most powerful engine, pedaling hard in the cold water.
He held tightly in his arms the treasure that he had lost and found again, and used all his strength to resist the buoyancy of the water and the weight of their bodies, floating up tenaciously, inch by inch.
The water rippled gently around them, and the golden sunlight penetrated the water, casting swaying and blurry spots of light on their rising figures embracing each other, as if they were in a silent and dreamy blue crystal palace.
“Crash!”
The two figures that were tightly pressed together finally broke through the water surface, and the fresh air mixed with the smell of disinfectant suddenly poured into their lungs.
The golden sunlight instantly blinded people, and the water splashed everywhere like scattered diamonds.
The vast swimming pool was empty and silent. The team members training in the distant lanes seemed oblivious to the thrilling scene unfolding in the deep end. Only the rippling sound of the water and the heavy, rapid breathing of the two men echoed beneath the empty dome.
Mu Xinrong was choked and started coughing violently, his body shaking uncontrollably in Chao Youye's arms, and every cough brought out foamy pool water.
He was gasping for breath, the cold air irritating his burning throat, his vision was blurred, and the world was spinning.
But the arm tightly wrapped around his waist and the chest heaving violently against his back were the only hot fulcrums in this cold world.
He turned his head with difficulty, his wet eyelashes trembling as he raised them——
Chao Youye was close at hand. He was also soaked, with water droplets rolling down his messy black hair, sliding across his pale, almost transparent cheeks, and dripping along his taut jawline.
He lowered his head slightly, his wet hair hanging down, covering his eyebrows and eyes. Only his thin lips, which were tightly pursed and pale and even trembling slightly, could be seen.
The hand that was wrapped around Mu Xinrong's waist was like a red-hot iron, holding him tightly in its arms with a huge power that had been lost and regained.
The force was so great that it almost rubbed Mu Xinrong into his bones and blood. At the same time, Mu Xinrong clearly felt that Chao Youye's entire body, which was pressed against him, was trembling violently and uncontrollably.
It was not because of the cold, but because of a huge fear and dread that penetrated deep into the bone marrow and was the result of surviving a disaster.
"Chao...You...Ye..." Mu Xinrong was frightened by his appearance, his voice was hoarse and broken, with the lingering sound of a cough.
He suddenly raised his head towards Youye!
The wet hair on her forehead was thrown aside, revealing a pair of violet eyes. At this moment, they were surging with chaotic emotions that Mu Xinrong had never seen before, like a storm.
The horrified fear, the huge shock of losing and regaining, and a cold aftermath that almost burned him to death.
That gaze penetrated the mist like substance, staring intently at Mu Xinrong's panicked eyes, as if to devour him completely.
He stared at Mu Xinrong intently, his chest heaving violently, breathing heavily, unable to utter a word.
The look was too heavy, too complicated, and carried the power to destroy the world, causing Mu Xinrong to forget to breathe in an instant.
Just when Mu Xinrong thought he would explode in anger or do something out of control again——
Chao Youye's arms, which were wrapped around his waist, slowly and with great difficulty loosened their grip a little.
He still didn't let go, but just supported the weight of both of them, allowing Mu Xinrong to lean more comfortably in his arms and breathe.
He turned his head slightly to avoid Mu Xinrong's direct gaze, and his wet eyelashes drooped, covering the emotions surging in his eyes.
His tightly pursed lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into an extremely suppressed gasp with a heavy nasal sound.
Mu Xinrong watched the water droplets rolling down his pale cheek, watched his slightly trembling eyelashes and tightly pursed lips, watched his fragile expression as he tried hard to suppress his huge emotional fluctuations...
The cold yet scorching kiss underwater, the domineering breath that came in, the figure that rushed over recklessly... all the images instantly flooded into his mind with overwhelming force.
A mixture of fear, heartache, grievance, and an indescribable, secret throbbing and sweetness, like warm spring water, suddenly broke through all the embankments.
He no longer hesitated or feared. He stretched out his cold, trembling arms and wrapped them around Chao Youye's back, which was also cold, wet, and trembling violently.
He buried his wet cheek gently in Chao Youye's equally cold neck with complete trust and dependence.
The moment their skin touched, both of them trembled violently.
Mu Xinrong felt the violent and heavy pulsation of Chao Youye's carotid artery, felt his body stiffen momentarily, and then felt the even more uncontrollable trembling.
He tightened his arms, and with the last bit of warmth he had left, he clumsily but firmly embraced the young man who had pulled him back to the world from the icy water.
"I'm sorry..." Mu Xinrong's voice was muffled and nasal, sounding in the crook of Chao Youye's neck. His warm breath brushed against her cold skin. "...I scared you...I didn't mean to..."
